Recently we bought (from a food co-op) an ingredient that we had
never heard of before: black sticky rice. This rice is probably also
sold in “health food” stores.

We have been experimenting with this unusual (to us) rice and are
very happy with the results. One of the recipes that we came up with
includes plantains. (In my 31 March 2006 Blog, I mentioned using
plantains in our Kidney Bean Plantain Chili.)

The ingredients for our Black Sticky Rice Pudding with Plantain and
Orange are as follows:

We have a lot of fun trying new (vegan, of course) recipes or old
recipes with new ingredients!

"Joyful Curmudgeon"

same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.
